Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
Read word by wordThe king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
Read word by wordA chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
Read word by wordHe had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines—and his wives turned his heart away.
Read word by wordFor when Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God, as his father David had been.
Read word by wordSolomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
Read word by wordSo Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD; unlike his father David, he did not follow the LORD completely.
Read word by wordNow the LORD grew angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.
Read word by wordAlthough He had warned Solomon explicitly not to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD’s command.
Read word by wordThen the LORD said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.
Read word by wordThen the LORD raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom.
Read word by wordEarlier, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the army had gone to bury the dead and had struck down every male in Edom.
Read word by wordBut Hadad, still just a young boy, had fled to Egypt, along with some Edomites who were servants of his father.
Read word by wordHadad and his men set out from Midian and went to Paran. They took men from Paran with them and went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.
Read word by wordThere Hadad found such great favor in the sight of Pharaoh that he gave to him in marriage the sister of Queen Tahpenes, his own wife.
Read word by wordAnd the sister of Tahpenes bore Hadad a son named Genubath. Tahpenes herself weaned him in Pharaoh’s palace, and Genubath lived there among the sons of Pharaoh.
Read word by wordWhen Hadad heard in Egypt that David had rested with his fathers and that Joab, the commander of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.”
Read word by wordBut Pharaoh asked him, “What have you lacked here with me that you suddenly want to go back to your own country?” “Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but please let me go.”
Read word by wordAnd God raised up against Solomon another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah,
Read word by wordand had gathered men to himself. When David killed the Zobaites, Rezon captained a band of raiders and went to Damascus, where they settled and gained control.
Read word by wordRezon was Israel’s enemy throughout the days of Solomon, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled over Aram with hostility toward Israel.
Read word by wordNow Jeroboam son of Nebat was an Ephraimite from Zeredah whose mother was a widow named Zeruah. Jeroboam was a servant of Solomon, but he rebelled against the king,
Read word by wordNow Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. So when Solomon noticed that the young man was industrious, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the house of Joseph.
Read word by wordDuring that time, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was going out of Jerusalem. Now Ahijah had wrapped himself in a new cloak, and the two of them were alone in the open field.
Read word by wordAnd Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing, tore it into twelve pieces,
Read word by wordand said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give you ten tribes.
Read word by wordFor they have forsaken Me to worship Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites. They have not walked in My ways, nor done what is right in My eyes, nor kept My statutes and judgments, as Solomon’s father David did.
Read word by wordBut I will take ten tribes of the kingdom from the hand of his son and give them to you.
Read word by wordBut as for you, I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your heart desires, and you will be king over Israel.
Read word by wordIf you listen to all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight in order to keep My statutes and commandments as My servant David did, then I will be with you. I will build you a lasting dynasty just as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.
Read word by wordSolomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, where he remained until the death of Solomon.
Read word by wordAnd Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David. And his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
Read word by wordThen Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.
Read word by wordWhen Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about this, he was still in Egypt where he had fled from King Solomon and had been living ever since.
Read word by wordSo they sent for Jeroboam, and he and the whole assembly of Israel came to Rehoboam and said,
Read word by wordRehoboam answered, “Go away for three days and then return to me.” So the people departed.
Read word by wordThen King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How do you advise me to respond to these people?” he asked.
Read word by wordThey replied, “If you will be a servant to these people and serve them this day, and if you will respond by speaking kind words to them, they will be your servants forever.”
Read word by wordBut Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders; instead, he consulted the young men who had grown up with him and served him.
Read word by wordHe asked them, “What message do you advise that we send back to these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
Read word by wordThe young men who had grown up with him replied, “This is how you should answer these people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you must make it lighter.’ This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist!
Read word by wordAfter three days, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, since the king had said, “Come back to me on the third day.”
Read word by wordAnd the king answered the people harshly. He rejected the advice of the elders
Read word by wordand spoke to them as the young men had advised, saying, “Whereas my father made your yoke heavy, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.”
Read word by wordWhen all Israel saw that the king had refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So the Israelites went home,
Read word by wordbut Rehoboam still reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.
Read word by wordThen King Rehoboam sent out Adoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste and escaped to Jerusalem.
Read word by wordSo to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David.
Read word by wordWhen all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they summoned him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah followed the house of David.
Read word by wordAnd when Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mobilized the whole house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—180,000 chosen warriors—to fight against the house of Israel and restore the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon.
